Let us remember: One book, one pen, one child, and one teacher can change the world.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
All it takes is one teacher - just one - to save us from ourselves and make us forget all the others.
Sending a book out into the world is a lot like sending your child to the first day of kindergarten. You hope the other kids play nice and that she makes friends.
Every book is a children's book if the kid can read!
I really strive to bring something new to each book. I don't want to write the same book over and over again.
I can't promise that every child with learning differences will become a novelist, but I do think all children can become lifelong readers.
I hope my books empower kids, and that they learn how to work out their problems themselves.
Books that kids read should be about what is going on in the world.
I think children love reading, and they will make time for it if we put the right books into their hands. And I hope I get the chance to keep being one of the people that writes them.
Writing for children is bloody difficult; books for children are as complex as their adult counterparts, and they should therefore be accorded the same respect.
I am sure of this: that no one can write a book which children will like unless he write it for himself first.
